sack, which was stuffed full of bank

Fifty-one years ago, one night at
Natchez, I saw four gentlemen play
ing poker, at which the ante was
$500 and they would go $1,000 blind.
One of the players was a banker, one
a merchant and the others were cot
ton planters. High play quit about
forty years ago. Steamboats, began
to be held liable for losses at poker
on board, and many steamboat cap
tains would not allow gambling upon
their boats at all. But the Mississip-
pi is thing of change. Fifty years
ago, when I first knew Island No.

one smaller one on that historic
island. AT the. outbreak Of the late
war the island had shrunk to six
acres, eaten away by the water, and
now it is entirely obliterated.-Indi-

who had risen from his chair ana was sJand-

his hand.
Jess turned to see what would happen
She knew the whole story, and hoped he
would not take the mans hand; then, remem-
bering their position, she hoped he would.
John turned color q little, and then deliber-
ately drew himself up and put his hand be-
hind his back.
II am very sorry, Mr.. Muller" he said,
"but even in our present position l cannot
shake hands with you; you well know why. ="
Jess saw flush of the furious passion, which
was his weak point, spread itself over the
Beers face.
II do not know, Capt Mel. Be so good as
to explain"

clapping his .hand to his belt, in which his
hunting knife was placed. Thus for few
seconds they stood face to face. John never

You have washed your hands. The boys will

sAccordingly they entered, and were made
as happy as good supper, Il hearty welcome
and comfortable beds could make people in
their condition.
in the early morning one of their estimable
escort sent in message to say that they were
MOTTO start before 1880, as their horses re-
anired more rest so they got several hours
more in bed than they had expected, and
anybody who has ever made a journey in a
post cart in South Africa can understand
what blessing that was. At they had
breakfast, and as tile clock struck 1880 Mouti
brought the cart round, and with it came the
two Beers.

saNever mind, Mrs. Gooch," said John,
cIeerfully, "the government will compensate

IS tkys Gooch shook her head propheticalIy.
Z 'gsNever a farthing do expect to see, !" she
said.. "If only can get my husband back,
and we can escape out of this wicked place
with our lives, shall be thankful. And
look here, Capt. Mel, I have put up basket
full of food-bread, meat and hard boiled
eggs and bottle of three star brandy. They
may be useful to you and the young lady be-
fore you get home. don't know where you
will sleep tonight, for the English are still
holding Standerton, SO you won't be able to
stop there, and you can't get right through.
No, don't thank me, could not do less.
Good by-good by, miss; hope you will get
through all right. You had better look out,
though. Those two men you have got with
you are a very bad lot. I heard say that
that fat faced man with the tooth shot two
wounded men through the head after the
fight at Bronker's Spruit, and I know no
good of the other. They were laughing and
talking together about you in the kitchen
this morning; one Of my boys overheard
them, and the man with the long hair said
that, at any rate, they would not be troubled
with you after tonight I don't know what
he meant; perhaps they are going to change
the escort; but thought that 1 had better
tell you"
John looked grave, and his suspicious re-
arose, but at that moment one of the men in
question rode up and told him that he must
start at once, and SO off they went.
The second days journey was in many re-
spects counterpart of the first The road
was utterly deserted, and they saw neither
Boer, Englishman nor Kaffir upon it; moth
ing, indeed, except few herds of game graz
ing on the ridges.
Nothing further occurred till, by the orders
of their escort, they outspanned, an hour or
q faint track forked out Of The Standerton
road.

CHAPTER XXI.
LESS GETS A PASS

About 1890 OH the morning following her
interview with Hans Coetzee, jess was at
"ihe Palatial" as usual, and John was just
finishing packing the cart with such few
goods as they possessed. There was not much
chance of its being of any material use, for
he did not in the slightest degree expect that
they would get the pass; but, as he cheer
fully said, it was as good an amusement as
any other.
II say, JESS" he sung out presently, ''come
here"
"What for!" answered jess, who was seated
on the doorstep nlending something, and
looking at her favorite view.
Because want to speak to you"
She got up and went, feeling rather angry
with herself for going
"Well," she said, tartly, "here am. What
lit"
81 have finished packing the cart, that's
all."
"And you mean to tell me that you have
brought me round here to say that?'
Eyes, Of course have; exercise is good for
the young" And then he laughed, and she
laughed too.

REST ON THE SEVENTH DAY.

This period of rest is in as strict
accordance with the laws of mans
physical being, as the weekly wind
ing of an eight day clock is in &C.
cordance with the principles which
govern its construction and in man
or clock, the men who think they
know better how to run the machine
ry than does the man who made it,
will find out their mistake by fairly
trying the experiment.
How does the experiment work in
Spain or Paris? A Sunday to play
in, makes Sunday to work in, and
there are more people who work
than there are who play. Says a
correspondent to a New York paper:
"The seventh day brings no respite
70 them here. On the contrary, it
is the day when they work hard
est. There is no old stone-mason,
no old shoemaker, no old carpenter,
no old painter, no old artisan in
Paris. Medical men say their pre-
mature decline is owing to the want
of a day of rest once a week. Going
to museums, poring over books, and
amusements Of every sort, are equal
ly pernicious with hard work."
Nature demands one day in seven.
When q man is PROSTATE with ty-
phoid fever, he must begin to get
we'll on the seventh, the fourteenth,
the twenty-first, the twenty-eighth
or the thirty-fifth day of his illness,
or he will never get well. His
change from sickness to health COM
mences on a seventh day. Why?
Simply because this is the way man
is built. France could abolish the
Sabbath, and introduce the decade,
or tenth day, as holiday, or day
of rest, but all France could not
make a typhoid fever turn on a
tenth, twentieth or thirtieth day.
The course of the nature of things
is too strong for infidel theories, and
nature avenges the violation of Di-
vine law; and those who violate it
do not live out half their days. In
fdels mock at Christians as old fogies,
and so they are, but the DEVILS
fogies never become DID, They die in
their brown hair and are buried in
untimely graves.-Ihe Christian.

ITO BE Continued
A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.

From the NOrJolk VlTg1ntGn, lOfh 1nSt.J
At the old Eastern Shore Episcopal
Chapel, in Princess Anne county,
near Lynnhaven Bay, at 4.3O O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. VIM. w.
Degge, editor of the Evening Ne,cs
and Weekly Gazette, of this city, was
united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony to Miss Nellie Louise Avery,
the pretty and accomplished daugh-
ter of Col. J. w. Avery, of Princess
Anne. Aspecial train from this city,
over the Virginia Beach road, at
$50 o'clock, carried a number of the
relatives and friends of the groom
from the Twin Cities to Tunis' sta
ton, near which the church is situ-
ated, to witness the nuptials. AS the
bridal party entered the church, Miss
Lizzie Moore, of Norfolk, who pre-
sided at the organ, played the we'd
ding march. The groom bore on his
arm the mother of the bride, and
they were followed by the bride and
Colonel Avery, her father, the party
being preceded to the altar by the
following ushers: Messrs. Samuel
Linchium, of Baltimore; Richard T.
Brooke, of this city; Edward Avery
and w. G. Avery, the last two being
brothers of the bride. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. J. w. Savage,
rector of the church, beneath a floral
arch. The Episcopal ritual, includ-
ing the impressive ring service, was
used, and the bride was given away
by her father. She was attired in a
seal-brown silk travelling costume,
with diamond ornaments, and at the
corsage wore a pretty boquet. The
groom wore customary black.
After the ceremony, congratulations
followed, at the conclusion of which
the happy couple and their friends
from Norfolk and Portsmouth, left
Tunis' station, taking the special
train to Norfolk, a reception at the
home of the BRIDES parents having
preceded the marriage. Arriving at
Norfolk, Mr.. and Mrs. Degge were
driven to the Old Dominion steamer
Guyandotte, on which they left for
New York and Niagara Falls, to be
gone about ten days. The bridal
presents were numeous and hand
some, the groom's gift to the bride
being the bridal ornaments.
The bride is a blonde Of twenty
summers. Her father, Colonel Av-
cry, is South Carolinian, and serv-
ed through the late war in the 18th
Regiment of Volunteers from that
State. After the war he went to
Canada, became subject of the Brit
ish crown, which he remains to-day.
He only resided out of this country
ten years, however.
The groom, as business man, is
far beyond his years, being only %.
He began his business career as a
printers boy and came up rapidly to
the editorial chair. AS soon as he
had graduated from the case, he start
ed the Norfolk Weekly Gazette and
has since added to his establishment
the Evening Ne,cs. The Tirginian
wishes him and his fair young bride
an extended voyage on the matrimo-
nial. sea, with never ripple to mar
the pleasure thereof.

CHAPTER XXI.
ON THE ROAD.

They had just finished their meal, and wera
about to leave the table, when suddenly the
door opened, and who should appear at it but
Frank Muller himself. There was no mis-.
take about him; there lie STOOD stroking his
long, golden beard, as big, as handsome, and
to Jess mind, as C.'il looking as ever Tho
cold eyes fell upon John with a glance of rec
ogni1ion, and then something like q smile be-
gan to play round the corners of the fine cut,
cruel mouth. Suddenly, however, his gaze
lit upon the two Beers, one Of whom was
picking his teeth with steel forS and the
other lighting his pipe within few inches OF
Jess head, and instantly lis face grew stern
and angry.
"What did I tell you two nen" he s;lid ;
"that you were not to eat with the prisoners"
this word struck awkwardly OH jess earl.
81 told you that they were to be treated with
all respect, and here l find you sprawling over
tue table and smoking in their faces. Be off
with you!"
The smooth faced man with the tusk rose
at once with sigh, put down the steel fork
with which he had been operating and de-
parted, recognizing that Meinheer Muller
was not a commanding officer to lie trlfled
with; but his companion, the Fiderbeeste,
demurred What" he said, tossing his head
so us to throw the long black hair out OF his
eyes, "am l not fit to sit ut meat with
couple of accursed English-a rooibaatJe and
Il woman! If had my way he should c Ill
my boots and she should cut up my tobacco;'
and he grilned at the notion till eyebrows,
whiskcrs und muStachc all nearly met round
his nose, making him look for all the world
like hairy faced baboon.
Frank Muller made no answer in words.
He simply took one step forward, pounced
upon his nsubordinate follower, and with
single swing of his athletic frame sent him
flying headlong through tho door, SO that the
free and Independent burgher lit upon his
head in the passage, smashing his pipe and
considerably damaging his best feature-his
nose There" said Muller, shutting the door
after him, that is tho only way to deal with
fellow like that And now let mo bid you
good day, Miss JESS" and he extended his
hand, which jess took, rather coldly it must
be owned.
at has given me great pleasure to be able
to do you this little service" he added, po-
litely. II had considerable difficulty in get
ting the pass from the general-indeed, was
obliged to urgo my personal services before
he would give it to me. But, never mind
that, did get it, as you know, and it will be
my care to escort you safely to Mooifon-
tein."
jess bowed, and Muller turned to John.

YOUNG MEN AND SINGLE LIFE.

1t is undoubtedly true that single
life is not without its advantages for
some. There are hundreds of young
men, as there are like number Of
young women, to whom a married
life would be unsuitable and unwise.
1t is an inexcusable sin for any young
man of hereditary i'll health or de-
formity to assume marriage, and to
such one single life has its advan-
tages, even though it holds out few
pleasures. But that young man who
is possessed of every bodily and men,
tai equipment, and marries not, fails
in one of the most palpable duties life.
He deprives himself of life's most
refined and exalted pleasures, of some
of its strongest incentives to virtue
and activity, and sets an example
unworthy ofimitation. Nothing has,
or should have, a greater refining in
fuence to a young man than mar
rlage. If he remains unmarried, he
lays himself open to alluring vices
that have no place in his eye or mind
when his attentions or affections are
centered upon devoted wife. Mar
Ariage changes the current OF q mans
feelings, and gives him centre for
his thoughts, his affections and his
acts. It renders him more virtuous,
more wise, and is an incentive to put
forth his best exertions to attain po-
sition in commercial and social cir
cles. 1t is conceded that marriage
will increase the cares of young
man which he would not encounter
if he remained single, but it must be
granted on the other hand, that it
heightens the pleasures of life. If
marriage, in some instances within
our knowledge, has seemed to be but
hindrance to certain success, the
countless instances must not be for
gotten where it has proved to be the
incentive which has called forth the
best part of a mans nature, reused
him from selfish apathy and in
spired in him those generous princi-
pies and high resolves which have
helped to develop him into charac-
ter known, loved, and honored by
all within the sphere of his influence.
Matrimony, it is true, is chargable
with numberless solicitudes and re-
sponsibilities, and this all young men
should fully understand before enter
ing upon it, but it is also full of JOY
and happiness that is unknown. to
the bachelor.-Brooklyn Magazine.

NEVER DELAY,

The evils of postponing to a future
time the things that ought to be done
to-day are many and great. A habit
is thereby formed which becomes 80
strong that present exertion is i'm
possible, even when the emergency
is urgent. Every time the duty is
presented the habit pleads for pro-
crastination. Then dread sets in Of
beginning and accomplishing the
task, which is harder to bear than
the actual work. Tomorrow is load
ed down with the duties of to-day,
and the truth is sadly felt, sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof. BY
the delay many duties are not re-
membered, and the stereotyped 81
forgot it," follows, of course. The
whole life shifts into an uncertainty
of performance, and the character Is
injured in the just estimation of wise
men. A young man may lose bus
mess position, and thereby change
his course for life, by waiting one
day too long in making application.
A scholar at school may never be per-
feet in his lessons if he shall delay
their study a single hour. A note in
bank that is delayed beyond the last
day Of grace will not only be protest
ed, but the borrower will be unable
to make another loan.
If in business life 1elay is danger
Gus, how much more in the religious
life. All the evils named above fol-
low in the train of delay, with the
greater evil added that each hour Of
hesitation and postponement is DISC
beying God. "Now is the accepted
time, and now is the day of saliva
tion." Tomorrow is an arrant cheat.
Each day is life in miniature. The
morningis childhood and youth grow
ing brighter with the rising sun.
Noon is manhood in its strength.
Every moment after is return to
night, with feebler light and ap-
preaching darkness. And this day
stands by itself in the reckoning Of
eternity. This life stands by itself
as our only trial stately, in Nash
